Inspection (1.6L)

  1. Check belt teeth for cracks, damage or oil contamination. Inspect all sprockets for damage. Check tensioner pulley and idler pulley for signs of grease leakage or roughness in rotation. Replace components if damaged.
  2. Inspect automatic tensioner for leaks. Check end of automatic tensioner rod for wear. Measure distance from end of automatic tensioner rod to the automatic tensioner housing. Distance should be.47" (11.9 mm).
  3. Rod should be retracted into tensioner housing. Note if plug at bottom of tensioner protrudes past tensioner housing. If plug does protrude, place a washer over plug to prevent plug from contacting vise while pushing rod into tensioner housing.
  4. Place tensioner assembly in a soft-faced vise. Push rod back into the automatic tensioner. Replace tensioner if rod can easily be retracted in the automatic tensioner.
